Royal Air Force

If you are serving in the Royal Air Force, or have left the Service within the last 12 months, you may be able to use our simplified route to Professional Registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng), Incorporated Engineer (IEng) or Engineering Technician (Eng Tech).

Getting professionally registered

The flowcharts below outline the professional registration process for EngTech, IEng and CEng.

Not yet a member of an institution?

You won’t be required to write a detailed report, attach proof of attended courses or create a Development Action Plan.

IEng and CEng applicants must have a Professional Review Interview with our panel of peers to discuss your achievements. They will then make a recommendation towards professional registration as an IEng or a CEng.

Want to upgrade your membership?

If you're already registered as a CEng, IEng or EngTech and a member of the Institution (MIMechE) and you’re a Wing Commander (or above), you can upgrade using a simplified process. Just fill out a Member to Fellow upgrade application form.

If you are below the rank of Wing Commander, but believe you meet the Fellowship criteria, please apply via the traditional route.

Want to transfer your membership to us?

If you’re a CEng, IEng or EngTech registered with the Engineering Council through one of their approved institutions, you can apply through our Armed Forces Existing Registrant process.
